Sample Fact Sheet

When I began coaching Forestry Olympians, I thought it would be convenient for them to have fact sheets for the tournaments. There would be pages for each species with the information in an easy-to-access format. The Olympians thought this was a good idea, too, but it turns out that they did not have time to use them during the competition. So, I'm not sure that the fact sheets will do anyone any good, but here is the format that we used:
